Is it possible?

We just left the hematologists office and he said so far everything looks good. He is running tow more blood tests that will be back in about 6 weeks. He doesn't expect anything significant to show up. We are right back to this all coming from the knee surgery. We're ok with that.

The surgery to replace the trach last week went just fine. Other than his usual post anesthesia reaction that always freaks them out. They came running to get me, ready to call 911! {we were in the surgery center} I get in there and he is surrounded by nurses trying to get him to respond. They look at me and ask if this is his usual reaction and I just say "yep, he'll be just fine in an hour". Of course this meant I had to stay in the recovery room with him. My heartfelt empathy goes out to anyone with a loved one with Alzheimer's. Having to remind him over and over where he is and why is not fun! But just as I said....an hour later and he was wide awake and joking and ready to leave!

So as we were leaving the doctors office today Steve asked if he had any more appointments. This doctor said to return in two months. I couldn't think of anyone else we needed to see. I then realized we could actually get through the entire month of April without seeing a single doctor! I don't think we visited the ER in March. This is a GOOD thing. No...it's a GOD thing!!!

God is GOOD!!

Better.

I deleted that last post because...well I just didn't want my "stuff" out there. If I can be honest here I struggle a lot with anger and when it comes to those I love it rears it's very ugly head more than I like. And I'm sure others as well. I like to believe God is working on me in this regard.

Steve has to have surgery next Wednesday to have his trach replaced. Why doesn't matter. God is in all the details and we may not understand why right now but someday we will.

Not one in a million

But he is still my 1 in 6.76 billion!

The doctor called and the test he sent to Maine for PNH was negative. No word on the other tests yet but this was the one we were most concerned about.

Tomorrow Steve will have another bronchoscopy done to make sure the source of bleeding is not coming from his lungs. The CT scan to check for carcinoids is scheduled for the 17th.
